Godlewska, Marta. "EVENT PLANNERS' RATINGS OF DESTINATION SELECTION VARIABLES: A COMPARISON BETWEEN MEMBERS OF THREE PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION G." Master's thesis, University of Central Florida, 2006. http://digital.library.ucf.edu/cdm/ref/collection/ETD/id/3093.
Full textAbstract:
Several researchers have attempted to understand the destination selection criteria that are important to event planners (Crouch & Ritchie, 1998; Getz, 2003; Oppermann, 1996). However, an examination of the previous studies indicated that only limited understanding of the destination selection criteria has been provided. There is little research that compares event planners belonging to different professional associations and their rating of destination selection criteria. This study examined the differences that exist between three groups of event planners in rating thirteen destination selection variables. The study provides more understanding in the search of an optimal combination of destination selection mix based on multiple dependent variables. This study found significant differences in ratings of five out of thirteen destination selection variables by event planners who were the members of three different associations. Therefore it is providing a valuable contribution to the existing body of literature. From a practical standpoint, this study can help by providing information about how planners of different events feel about certain destination criteria at the time a destination selection is made. All parties with a vested interest in the event industry may use this information to appropriately position their services in the market and tailor their products to better compete for the limited number of events in an environment where the space to host such events continues to grow.M.S.

Mohd, Khir Masrur. "Developing an event safety risk typology : a qualitative study of risk perception amongst event planners and venue managers in Malaysia." Thesis, Liverpool John Moores University, 2014. http://researchonline.ljmu.ac.uk/4441/.
Full textAbstract:
This study explored the significance of risk and safety and the need for proper operating procedures in identifying the link between the types and categories of event safety related risks from the perception of event planners and venue managers within the event management industry in Malaysia. Event management is an emerging profession in need of methodical tools to ensure the success and safety of all stakeholders within this field. Despite a plethora of literature confirming that risk and safety is fundamental in event planning and management, a thorough literature review has exposed the insuffiency of research within general risk and safety management areas and, more specifically, the lack of research relating to event risk management and safety. This empirical investigation started by exploring the concept of risk and risk perception and adapts this approach in the field of event management. This has been taken in order to investigate the perceptions of event/venue managers in Malaysia towards risks and safety issues in planning and managing events. Due to the lack of empirical studies in this area, a qualitative exploratory case study approach using semi-structured interviews has been conducted aiming at exploring the importance of this topic, and identifying (and justifying) several important themes within the research context. The sample participants were recruited based on purposive and snowballing sampling technique comprising 33 event/venue managers from various event related organisations in Malaysia. The data were analysed using both inductive and deductive approaches by adopting a typology outlined in the literature. A pragmatic approach of thematic analysis focusing on identifiable themes and patterns of living and/or behaviour has been adopted. A post positivist paradigm with the use of a reflexive approach in analysing data in that the researcher became an important instrument of analysis for the research. The findings identify seven major themes focusing on important types of risks associated with the safety of event employees and event attendees from a Malaysian perspective. These safety risk categories known as: crowd safety and crowd control; technical and logistics hazards; alcohol-related risks; security risks and issues; environmental health and safety; financial risks and insurances and; emergency services. Thus, this research attempts to enhance the current understanding of Malaysian event risk management practice by proposing a generic typology focusing on important risk factors based on a Malaysian perspective. The empirical outcome in the form of an event safety risk typology answered the need for an analytical tool in order to improve the management of risk and safety within the event management domain, and also provided an avenue for further research within this emerging field.

En el presente documento se detalla un proyecto que ha sido desarrollado durante varios meses, en donde se investigó rigurosamente el mercado y se determinó la viabilidad de este. El proyecto, llamado Tabú Planner, es una página web que servirá de intermediario entre una concentración diversificada de microempresarios proveedores de diferentes servicios para realizar eventos y miles de personas que tienen la necesidad de realizar un evento en específico. Esta página consiste en conectar a los microempresarios que no tienen un lugar determinado donde promocionar sus servicios y al usuario quien tampoco conoce proveedores para realizar su evento; se realizó la validación y se obtuvo como resultado que invierten mucho tiempo en la búsqueda, e incluso no los encuentran en las condiciones que ellos esperaban. Nosotros, como compañía, somos ese nexo importante para que las necesidades de ambos puedan suplirse.
Para la inversión inicial se requerirá un importe de S/33,050 soles, el cual será aportada mayoritariamente por los accionistas, pero un importe menor será por tercero. Las fuentes de ingresos serán mediante el pago de membresías que irán desde los tres meses hasta los doce meses. Además, se contará con una oficina que servirá para tener un contacto directo con nuestros socios claves.
Con respecto a la evaluación financiera, el negocio genera un Valor Presente Neto de 46,841.19. La TIR del proyecto asciende a 13%, con un retorno de inversión a partir del 1.76 años.This document details our Project that has been developed throughout the past five months, in which we investigated the market and determined its viability. The project is called “Tabú Planner”, which is a website that serves as an intermediary between a diversified market of small entrepreneurs that provide different services related to the organization of events, and thousands of people who have the need to organize a specific event. This website relays to connect those entrepreneurs that doesn’t develop a promotion strategy in which the sell their products and those customers that doesn’t know which are the best providers. We realized the validation, and it resulted that customers waste too much time finding the suitable one, and even in the case they find them, it often doesn’t fulfill their expectations. Our company is the suitable relation to fulfill those necessities. For the initial investment, the amount of S/ 33,050 is needed, which will be mostly contributed by the shareholders, but a small margin will be invested by a third party. The income stream will be made through the payment of memberships that will offered from three months to twelve months. In addition, there is an office that serves to have direct contact with our key partners. Related to our financial evaluation, this project generates a Net Present Value of 46,841.19. The project’s TIR amount to 13% with a return over investment starting at 1.76 years.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis evaluates the product to product changeover process of the line S10 at the Coca-Cola European Partners manufacturing plant in Jordbro, Sweden. The target has been to propose improvements to reduce the total planned downtime by 10%. The total planned downtime in March of 2019 was 4449 minutes. Secondary data has been used to identify the current situation. A study visit took place at the Coca-Cola European partners manufacturing facility in Dongen, the Netherlands, to serveas inspiration. Single Minute Exchange of Dye (SMED) methodology was applied to improve the most frequent planned downtime event (PDT event), which was performed 22 times during March of 2019 at an average of 72,8 minutes. The theoretical improvement for PDT event CIP programme 1, by applying SMED methodology, is estimated to roughly 16 minutes. This theoretically saves 8% of the total planned downtime for March of 2019. The same solutions from the SMED methodology could be applied to other PDT events, which would increase the number of events from 22 to 27. This would theoretical save 9,6 % of planned downtime for March of 2019.Det här examensarbetet utvärderar produktomställningsprocessen på linjen S10 som vid Coca-Cola European Partners produktionsanläggning i Jordbro, Sverige.

Ett studiebesök utfördes hos Coca-Cola European Partners produktionsanläggning i Dongen, Nederländerna, för att inspirera möjliga lösningar. Single Minute Exchange of Dye (SMED) metodologi tillämpades för att förbättra den mest frekventa omställningsprocessen, som utfördes 22 gånger under mars 2019 med en genomsnittlig ställtid på 72,8 minuter. Den teoretiska förbättringen av omställningsprocessen CIP program 1, med hjälp av SMED metodologi, uppskattas till ungefärligt 16 minuter. Detta reducerar den totala ställtiden för mars 2019 teoretiskt med 8%. Samma lösningsförslag från SMED metodologin skulle kunna tillämpas på andra omställningsprocesser, vilket skulle öka antal processer från 22 till 27. Teoretiskt sätt skulle detta reducera den totala ställtiden för mars 2019 med 9,6%.

Davids, Fawwaaz. "The Theory of Planned Behaviour and the Entrepreneurial Event Model as predictive models of entrepreneurial intention." Master's thesis, University of Cape Town, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/27299.
Full textAbstract:
The Theory of Planned Behaviour and The Entrepreneurial Event Model were used as models to predict entrepreneurial intention amongst final year students. The sufficiency of this paradigm was compared with the aim of determining which model predicts entrepreneurial intention the most within a South African context. A sample of 186 students was used to determine the sufficiency of the Theory of Planned Behaviour. As part of our methodology, a sub-set (n = 123) of the sample was used to determine the sufficiency of the Entrepreneurial Event Model. The sample consisted of final year commerce and engineering students. The results of the regression analysis indicated that the Theory of Planned Behaviour explained 58% of the variance in entrepreneurial intention. The Entrepreneurial Event Model was found to be less sufficient than the Theory of Planned Behaviour and only explained 38% of the variance in entrepreneurial intention. Therefore, when predicting entrepreneurial intention in a South African context, the Theory of Planned Behaviour can be considered the more sufficient model of prediction. Future research should consider using the Theory of Planned Behaviour, rather than Entrepreneurial Event Model, for entrepreneurial intention prediction among students in South Africa.

Hobbs, Megan Elizabeth. "University Fundraising Through Special Events: An Application of the Theory of Planned Behavior." DigitalCommons@CalPoly, 2016. https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/theses/1666.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to apply the Revised Theory of Planned Behavior and EVENTQUAL models to explore (1) event qualities that significantly impact guests’ satisfaction with a university event that they attend, (2) significant factors influencing university loyalty as a result of an event, and (3) willingness to make a charitable donation to a university as a result of attending an event. An online survey was sent to attendees of an annual Cal Poly auction event between 2002 and 2016 that directly benefits Cal Poly students. The data were used to test a series of hypotheses to determine the fit of a proposed theoretical model.
Although the study was limited by a small sample size of 74 subjects, it resulted in the creation of a revised event fundraising model. Student involvement proved to be the only quality significantly predicting a guest’s overall satisfaction with the event, explaining 12% of the variance. The combination of overall event satisfaction with a subset of the revised theory of planned behavior variables (attitude, descriptive norm, and moral norm) explained 51% of the variance in predicting university loyalty. Finally, intention to donate was best predicted as a combination of prescriptive norm, attitude, and university loyalty, accounting for 57% of the variance.
Overall, the revised model is applicable in aspects of university event planning including event branding, marketing, and the involvement of students at the event. Of serious note is the statistically significant attitude variable. If an event planner can utilize a university event to shift the guests’ attitudes towards the event and university, this can greatly enhance not only intention to donate at one particular event, but the loyalty these people feel to the university or program.

Little is known about time to return to work (TRTW) following planned medical events. This study was a secondary analysis (n=94) to determine predictors of time to return to work following a total knee replacement for osteoarthritis. Significant predictors of delayed TRTW following a knee replacement: 1) use of workplace modifications (in 6wks vs 5 wks) and 2) poor physical function (in 7wks vs 6 wks). These findings have large implications for workers undergoing knee replacement, orthopedic clinicians, and occupational health nurses.

Full textAbstract:
La sostenibilità ambientale degli eventi a larga partecipazione di persone è un processo specifico che include tematiche ambientali, economiche e sociali. Un grande evento è, infatti, una situazione straordinaria che può cambiare il normale sistema sociale di una comunità di persone, pertanto è molto importante pianificarne le conseguenze ambientali per prevenire situazioni di criticità e per garantire la sicurezza dei partecipanti e dei residenti. Vengono studiati con la ricerca due eventi: (1) il 25° Congresso Eucaristico Nazionale tenutosi ad Ancona dal 4 all’11 settembre 2011 e (2) il Campionato del Mondo ORC di Vela d’Altura, tenutosi ad Ancona dal 21 al 29 giugno 2013.
Per il primo, è stata eseguita un’analisi di dati ambientali (prima, durante e dopo l'evento) con l'uso di strumenti specifici in grado di misurare tutte le interazioni tra uomo e ambiente, la qualità dell'aria, la produzione di rifiuti, il consumo di energia, così da analizzare tutte le modifiche sull'ambiente collegate all'evento stesso. Poi sono state utilizzate le analisi Carbon Footprint e LCA per identificare i problemi ambientali causati dal grande evento e gli obiettivi ambientali al fine di trovare soluzioni sostenibili per il successivo caso studio.
Il secondo evento è stato quindi analizzato con uno standard specifico per la gestione di eventi, EBI 2012, edito dal Rina e dalla Società EcoCongress. Inoltre è stato preparato un questionario per capire quanto è importante la tutela ambientale per chi ha partecipato al Mondiale di Vela ORC. Le risposte sono state utili per analizzare la sensibilità ambientale, il comportamento e le idee dei partecipanti al campionato del mondo.Environmental sustainability of major events is a specific process that includes environmental, economic and social tips. A major event is an extraordinary situation that can change normal social system of a community of people. By the way, it is very important to plan major events environmental consequences to prevent any case of crisis and to ensure resident and participants safety. The research studies two major events (1) the 25th Eucharistic National Congress held in Ancona from 4th to 11st of September 2011 and (2) the ORC World Championship, held in Ancona from 21st to 29th June 2013. For the first one, the analysis follows the environmental data of the event (before, during and after the event) with the use of specific instruments that can measure all interactions between humans and environment, air quality, waste production, energy consumption in order to analyze all the modifications on the environment connected to the event. Then the Carbon Footprint was measured and LCA analysis was used to identify environmental problems caused by the event, value environmental goals and find sustainable solutions for the next event. The second case study is analyzed with a specific standard about events management, EBI 2012 by Rina and EcoCongress. Finally, a questionnaire to understand how much sensitivity about environment during events is in the participants was prepared. The answers have been used to analyze sensitivity, environmental behavior and ideas of the participants during the world championship.

Full textAbstract:
La métropole est polychronique. L'isolement d'un de ses rythmes permet de nuancer les théories de la modernité liquide et de la ville en continu. À travers l'étude de trois événements festifs métropolitains à Paris et Bruxelles, nous proposons une lecture de l'histoire urbaine par ses temps partagés, une description des mécanismes par lesquels les rythmes sociaux émergent et une analyse de leur rôle social et spatial. Réinterrogé par le concept de rendez-vous collectifs, les rythmes urbains sont une co-production entre un urbanisme temporaire et une urbanité événementielle. Ces deux éléments explique le double rôle spatial et social des rythmes événementiels. Les institutions municipales instrumentalisent l'urbanisme temporaire pour signifier le temps, organiser le rassemblement et produire du lieu. L'urbanité événementielle est le résultat des interprétations individuelles des événements comme signe temporel qui produit du lien social et un sens commun des lieux. La répétition de la rencontre entre l'urbanisme temporaire et l'urbanité événementielle provient d'une part, de la décision politique de d'instrumentaliser le rendez-vous dans l'organisation urbaine, d'autre part de la synchronisation des individus qui organisent leurs temps pour participer au rassemblement. La rationalité qui anime les participants est motivée par la valorisation des interactions de face-à-face et la production de liens sociaux associatifs, dans une société interrogée par la différenciation et la désynchronisation des modes de vie. L'individu ne se passe pas de rassemblements rituels, dans des lieux et selon des temporalités saisonnières. Ces rythmes collectifs sont adaptés à la métropole, à la complexification de ses territoires, à l'hybridation de ses représentations culturelles et à l'individualisation de ses temporalités. Au-delà, le concept de rythme est une théorie de morphologie sociale qui rend compte du fonctionnement des sociétés de façon multiscalaire et dynamique. Elle s'inscrit dans les théories sociologiques intermédiaires qui lient l'individu et le collectif, l'habitant et les institutions, la morphologie spatiale et temporelle de groupements humains de toutes tailles. Le fait métropolitain, influençant et influencé par l'individu et le global, constitue une échelle mésociale heuristique

Events are a part of every culture and community (Allen, et al., 2002; Getz, 1997; Getz, 2007; Rogers, 2003). They may differ in their purpose (celebration, education, marketing), but at the core they are a gathering of people (Goldblatt & Nelson, 2001). Economically, the event industry is an important sector of the tourism industries; in the USA it is estimated at $652 billion USD in revenues and to have created more than 1.7 million jobs in 2005 (Rutherford Silvers, 2008). Inherent within this industry are risks of varying types (financial, physical, legal, etc) that are the responsibility of the event planner to assess and manage. There are numerous proposed risk assessment and management strategies (GWU Tourism, 2007; MacLaurin & Wykes, 2003; Rutherford Silvers, 2008; Ryerson, 2008; Tarlow, 2002a), which are based on models presented in the general risk literature (Althaus, 2005; Johnson, 1993; Law, 2006; Sjoberg, 2000b; Slovic, 2000; Slovic, et al., 2004). However, there are no empirical data to support these proposed models, nor any research that has studied event planner perceptions of potential sources of risk. This study is an exploration of the socio-demographic influences of event planners on risk perception and how these support the current risk assessment and risk management strategies.
A model was developed that outlined the manner in which experience, education, gender and country of residence influenced the risk concepts of “dread” and “familiarity”. These concepts then lead to risk perception that, in turn, influenced risk assessment and risk management. In order to test this model, a mixed-methods, two-stage approach was used (Creswell, 2003; Veal, 2006). In-depth interviews were used to develop a definition of risk specific to the event industry, followed by an on-line survey to measure perceptions of various risk elements and gather socio-demographic information. There was evidence to support education, experience, gender and country of residence as influencing perceptions of “dread” and “familiarity” that, in turn, directly correlated with levels of risk perception.
This exploratory research has opened the way for many new facets of research in the event industry. Future research is suggested in the areas of cultural influence on risk perception, risk perception related to various event types (festivals, sports, mega-events, etc), and risk management strategies utilized by event planners.

Full textAbstract:
abstract: This dissertation investigates congestion mitigation during the ingress of a planned special event (PSE). PSEs would impact the regular operation of the transportation system within certain time periods due to increased travel demand or reduced capacities on certain road segments. For individual attendees, cruising for parking during a PSE could be a struggle given the severe congestion and scarcity of parking spaces in the network. With the development of smartphones-based ridesharing services such as Uber/Lyft, more and more attendees are turning to ridesharing rather than driving by themselves. This study explores congestion mitigation during a planned special event considering parking, ridesharing and network configuration from both attendees and planner’s perspectives.
Parking availability (occupancy of parking facility) information is the fundamental building block for both travelers and planners to make parking-related decisions. It is highly valued by travelers and is one of the most important inputs to many parking models. This dissertation proposes a model-based practical framework to predict future occupancy from historical occupancy data alone. The framework consists of two modules: estimation of model parameters, and occupancy prediction. At the core of the predictive framework, a queuing model is employed to describe the stochastic occupancy change of a parking facility.
From an attendee’s perspective, the probability of finding parking at a particular parking facility is more treasured than occupancy information for parking search. However, it is hard to estimate parking probabilities even with accurate occupancy data in a dynamic environment. In the second part of this dissertation, taking one step further, the idea of introducing learning algorithms into parking guidance and information systems that employ a central server is investigated, in order to provide estimated optimal parking searching strategies to travelers. With the help of the Markov Decision Process (MDP), the parking searching process on a network with uncertain parking availabilities can be modeled and analyzed.
Finally, from a planner’s perspective, a bi-level model is proposed to generate a comprehensive PSE traffic management plan considering parking, ridesharing and route recommendations at the same time. The upper level is an optimization model aiming to minimize total travel time experienced by travelers. In the lower level, a link transmission model incorporating parking and ridesharing is used to evaluate decisions from and provide feedback to the upper level. A congestion relief algorithm is proposed and tested on a real-world network.Dissertation/Thesis

Tourism industries of global countries’ GDP for 2011 accounted for more than 10%. Sport tourism was the fastest growing sector in the global travel and tourism industry, and it was the mainstream market, especially in sport event. There were total 448 running activities held in 2014. Marathon was one of the most important event. The purpose of this study was to explore the structure of marathon event tourism attraction and participation behavior intention through the Theory of Planned Behavior. Convenience sampling was used to collect data from marathon event in Bali. There were total 348 valid questionnaires returned. The results revealed:First, different age and groups had significant differences in sport tourism attraction; 31-40 year-old people in“historical” attraction variable was significant than above 61 year-old people; half-marathon participants in “historical” attraction variable was significant than marathon participants. Second, after attraction model was modified by confirmatory factor analysis, the result of fit measures as following: X2 = 709.56, X2/df = 2.28, RMSEA = 0.06, GFI = 0.87, and PCFI = 0.71. These values demonstrated good fit of this model. Third, the results of structure equation modeling showed the factors of participants’ behavior tendency, in which perceived behavioral control had the strongest effect, following were attitude, subjective norm, and sport event tourism attraction, in which path coefficient were 0.49, 0.44, 0.06, and 0.05 respectively. The study of contribution was to provide a more precisely prediction of participation behavior. The findings made hosts able to use limited resource effectively, and planned marketing strategies according to the factors attraction, attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this dissertation was to use the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to predict Texas pharmacists’ intention to report serious adverse drug effects (ADEs) to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The study explored the utility of the TPB model constructs (attitude [A], subjective norm [SN], perceived behavioral control [PBC]), as well as past reporting behavior (PRB), and perceived moral obligation (PMO) to predict pharmacists’ intention to report serious ADEs to the FDA. The study also determined if the pharmacists’ A, SN and PBC were related to practice characteristics and demographic factors.
A survey was developed based on two focus group interviews, pretested and mailed to 1,500 Texas practicing pharmacists. An overall response rate of 26.4 percent was obtained (n = 377 pharmacists). Overall, pharmacists intended to report serious ADEs, had a favorable attitude towards reporting, were somewhat influenced by social norms regarding reporting and perceived themselves to have some control over reporting serious ADEs to the FDA. For direct measures, A and SN were significant predictors of intention to report serious ADEs, but PBC was not. The TPB constructs together accounted for 34.0 percent of the variance in intention to report serious ADEs to the FDA. Using indirect measures, A, SN and PBC were significant predictors of intention and together accounted for 28.8 percent of the variance in intention to report serious ADEs. PRB and PMO improved the explanatory power of the regression models (direct and indirect measures) over and above the TPB constructs. Unlike most other practice characteristics and demographic factors examined, knowledge was significantly related with the TPB constructs.
In summary, A, SN, PBC (indirect measures), PRB, and PMO influence the formation of pharmacists’ intention to report serious ADEs. The TPB has utility in predicting ADE reporting behavior. Pharmacy educators should explore pharmacists’ attitudes, beliefs, and expectations of important others in designing educational programs. Strategies to help pharmacists report more serious ADEs should focus on altering their perception of social pressure towards reporting and addressing the barriers towards ADE reporting (e.g., lack of knowledge).text

Abstract Professional sport events have become a part of the repertoire of public entertainment, which can be accessed through mass media such as television or internet. Relying on broadcasting and visibility, the rapid developing e-sport events greatly depends on the number of viewers. To further investigate the factors affecting the public's interest in such events, the theory of planned behavior is applied to explore the intention of viewers in watching such events. Online investigative questionnaires were provided and 297 valid samples were collected. Structured equation modeling is used to analyze the relationship between the behavioral intention of e-sport event viewers and preexisting factors including attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control. It was found that the attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control of the viewers have significant impacts on behavioral intention, where the perceived behavioral control plays a decisive role. Viewers agree with the belief that watching e-sport events is a non-faulty and meaningful activity has a positive effect on public impression because the willingness of watching these events may depend on whether the people around them share the same or similar values. Also, better accessibility can facilitate utilization.

In order to evaluate the effects of parking management strategies a planned special event, this study presents a multiclass, multimodal dynamic traffic simulation model with departure time and parking location for planned special events. By adopting a hierarchy decision structure, the influence of in-vehicle travel time, walking time, time spent looking for parking, parking fee, bus fare, and schedule delay costs toward the travel choice behaviours of participators of planned special events are considered simultaneously. In the first stage, participators make mode and departure time choices. Then, they make parking location choices if they choose to use private mode. Finally, they make route choices. They wish to spend minimal travel costs to arrive at a venue on their schedules. By adopting a mesoscopic transportation planning software, Cube, this simulation model is constructed to predict the traffic flow patterns in space and time. Time-dependent daily trips and extra trips generated by the planned special event are assigned into the road network together. Referencing the field investigation of New Year’s Eve in Taoyuan City, a numerical example is used to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed simulation model.

In this study, we focus on cyclic planned special events (PSE) which are held at a fixed place. A major of participants will attend the PSE by private vehicles. First, we collect relevant information of travel behaviors of event participants by means of interview survey. Second, we present a travel behavior model of event participants, including departure time choice, mode choice, and route choice. Third, we use mesoscopic transportation planning software, Cube, to simulate these travel choice behaviors of event participants. Finally, we evaluate the impact of traffic mitigation plans by using this Cube model from the perspectives of event participants and non-participants. New Year’s Eve in Taoyuan County was used as a case study. The results show that if event participants pay much attention to the schedule delay, they will carefully choose their departure times. In addition, we found that reducing the public transit cost and increasing the parking cost of private vehicles can help increase the proportion of public transit of event participants, improve the overall network performance, and decrease the impact of non-participants.

Master thesis is focused on one of the crutial and the most problematic tools at the same time of driver diagnostic which is the interwiev. In the theorethical part of the thesis we concern on the targets and basic starting points of the driver assesment, from which the explorative areas of the interwiev. We discuss the role of the interwiev in the systém of methods which can be used for driver behaviour prediction and its specific kontext or the social desirability influence. The interwiev is divided into four phases - introducion (contract), anmnestic data gathering, diagnostical part, and conclusion. The theory of planned behaviour, and Behavioral Event Interview are presented in the diagnosticlal as the two sources of the design of semi-standardized interview. Empirical part contains a specific interwiev design including the recommended question set for mapping of the ability to view and reflection, driving style and characteristics, attitudes to risk behavior a possibility of the driver change from the point of his behaviour.. Then, the qualitative assesment of the question sets using the contrast method, comparison and subsequent interpretation based on the content analysis of the driver statements in accompanying case reports. Based on the analysis of the driver statements we set several key...

We focus on the travel choice behaviours of participants who attend planned special events (PSE) by private vehicles mainly. PSEs are periodically held at a fixed place. New Year’s Eve in Taoyuan County was used as a case study. We collect relevant information of travel behaviors of event participants by means of interview survey. Using Cube Voyager, a mesoscopic and systematic assessment tool is developed to explore participant behaviours of planned special event for mode and departure time window choices, evaluate event scenarios, and duplicate what happened during previous planned special events for a better understanding of the related issues. The simulation-based, multi-class, multi-modal traffic assignment model with departure time windows can be used to forecast the occurrence time and the level of traffic congestion produced by a planned special event. In this study, the 2015 New Year’s Eve celebration in Taoyuan City was used as a case study. Different types of traffic control plans were proposed to reduce the traffic impact of the planned special event. The impacts of a planned special event towards event participants and commuters and the mitigation measures for various traffic control plans are also established successfully in this study.

The theme of my diploma thesis is the engagement of the volunteers in the solution to the accidents in the South-Moravia region. In my diploma thesis I am involved in the issue of the engagement of the volunteers in the solution to the accidents in the South-Moravia region. I assume that the utilization of the potential of the volunteers is one of the possibilities of the acquisition of the forces, which could be used for the recovery of the consequences, post-traumatic care to struck persons and other activities within the solution to the accidents, all parallelly with the actions of the professional teams of the integrated rescue system bodies. The needs of the population in case of the accidents are rather differentiated, and the engagement of the volunteers completes the appointed forces and means of the integrated rescue system bodies. At present time, the adequate legal framework, modifying the engagement of the volunteers in the solution to the accidents, does not exist in the Czech Republic. Non-governmental non-profit organizations are united in the South-Moravia region into the Panel of the South-Moravia Region, which establishes the platform and enables the South-Moravia Region more effective engagement of the non-governmental non-profit organizations. The volunteers, organized in the Panel of the South-Moravia Region, are engaged in the solution to the accidents and the trainings organized in the level of the region, municipalities with widened competence and the integrated rescue system bodies.

Owing to the fact that entrepreneurship is widely considered to be a mechanism for reducing unemployment, the purpose of the study was to assess whether final-year Commerce students in the predominantly rural provinces, the Eastern Cape Province and the Limpopo Province, have the intention to start their own businesses.The study draws heavily from entrepreneurial intent models and focuses on the relationship between three key variables, namely, exposure to entrepreneurship education, awareness of entrepreneurial support and social capital to establish whether they are related to the intention of final-year Commerce studentsto start their own businesses.
The literature review concentrated on entrepreneurial intent and entrepreneurial intent models; government entrepreneurial support initiatives in South Africa and in other countries and their role in the development of entrepreneurial intent, emergence of new ventures and the growth of small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs); entrepreneurship education and its role in enhancing entrepreneurial self-efficacy, entrepreneurial competencies and entrepreneurial intent;the influence of social capital on entrepreneurial intent and the different stages on the new venture life-cycle; and concludes with the link between entrepreneurship and the establishment of SMMEs.
A survey was conducted among National Diploma (ND): Internal Auditing, Cost and Management Accounting and Financial information systems students (IAUD, CMA and FIS) (who had six months exposure to entrepreneurship education), ND: Entrepreneurship/Small Business Management (E/SBM) (who had three years exposure to entrepreneurship education) and ND: Management (without exposure to entrepreneurship education). The respondents for the study comprised 355 final year students of which 276 were from Walter Sisulu University in the Eastern Cape Province and 79 were from Tshwane University of Technology (Polokwane Campus) in the LimpopoProvince.Data was analysed using descriptive statistics and nonparametric statistics.
The findings reveal that the majority of the respondents had the intention to start a business in the future.The entrepreneurial intent of the ND: E/SBM students was
v
stronger than the entrepreneurial intent of the ND: IAUD, CMA and FIS students and ND: Management students. Some significant relationships were found between entrepreneurial intent and the key variables of the study.Business Management
